ELIZA’S POV

The scratching of my pen against the paper was the only sound in the room.

Stay focused, I told myself.

I’d already gone through three reports on border patrol rotations, approved two construction plans, and even reviewed old records of treaties that hadn’t seen daylight in over a year. I didn’t care. Anything was better than thinking about him.

Alexander.

My hand trembled slightly as I signed the last page of a new patrol schedule. I quickly dropped the pen and massaged my temple.

There was an ache in my chest that I couldn’t explain away, a tension that wouldn’t loosen, no matter how hard I buried myself in work.

The air was thick today. Not with the humidity, but with something else. Something heavier.

My wolf hadn’t stopped pacing since sunrise. I could feel her presence clawing at the edges of my mind. Her presence was restless.

She missed our mate badly. I misse

  • The Betrayed Warrior Luna's Second Chance   Chapter 152

    ELIZA’S POVMy head ached as I opened my eyes. My body ached all over. It felt like I’d been dragged through fire and frozen in ice but I was alive. I was breathing, at least.And that meant something. I was lucky to be aliveI turned my head slightly to see Alexander.His head was bowed.One hand was wrapped around mine while the other gripped the edge of my bed like he was afraid I’d vanish.He looked like he hadn’t slept in days.I could see the bags under his eyes. His hair was tousled and his clothes looked wrinkled. But still—he was beautiful. Fiercely so.“Alexander,” I whispered. My voice was hoarse. In fact, it was as dry as sandpaper.His head shot up immediately.“Eliza,” he breathed, like my name was air and he’d been drowning without it. “Moon above, you’re finally awake. I hope you won’t go off.”Before I could react, he cupped my face gently, like I was something precious. His thumbs brushed under my eyes as if checking that I was real.“I thought I lost you again,” he

  • The Betrayed Warrior Luna's Second Chance   Chapter 151

    ELIZA’S POVI was drowning in fire and screams.The fire scorched my skin. Its heat was unbearable.I could feel the jagged spear ripping into my side.The spear was sharp, painful and it stole the breath from me.A scream tore from my throat, but it was swallowed by the chaos around me. Voices floated around me.They sounded distant. I could hear Alexander shouting, Isabella crying, and the distant howls of wolves.Pain spread through me. My breaths were heavy and shallow. The world around me blurred. All I could see was a haze of shadows and light, spinning around me.And then slowly, painfully—my eyelids fluttered.Light came into my vision. The light was too bright. It was nothing like the warm sun or the room lighting I was used to.The air was filled with the smell of antiseptic and herbs. The room was silent except for the sound of a beeping machine.I blinked, struggling to focus.My head was heavy as if it was filled with lead. And then, I saw Alexander.He sat slumped beside

    THIRD PERSON’S POVThe hot desert wind swept over the dunes of the Dune Kingdom, throwing sand into the air. Eliza went back to base to meet with the other scouts.The base was filled with activity. Soldiers moved around quickly—sharpening blades, adjusting armor, checking weapons. The tension was thick. Everyone could feel something was about to happen.“Back again, Eliza?” Sergeant Kael asked. His sharp eyes studied her with clear suspicion. “You keep disappearing into the dunes, then show up like you didn’t just vanish. Where the hell do you go?”Eliza didn’t flinch. “I was looking round the perimerter,” she said smoothly. “There’s been movement out there.”He scoffed. “You always have some kind of excuse. Just know this—traitors don’t live long around here.”She gave him a nod and walked past him, even though her heart was pounding.Just a little longer, she told herself. This ends soon.*Far off, deep inside their camp, Alexander stood over a table filled with maps and notes.He

  • The Betrayed Warrior Luna's Second Chance   Chapter 149

    ELIZA'S POVThe desert wind bit at my face as I crouched low near the patrol camp’s outer ring. I’d only been with the Dune Kingdom’s border patrol for ten days, and already my limbs ached from the heat, the forced marches, and the drills. I was appointed as head of the patrol units.I wasn't here to be one of them. I was here for Isabella.And if pretending to be a loyal tracker meant bleeding my hands raw, earning every ounce of their trust, and walking among executioners with a frozen smile—I would do it.The Dune Kingdom doesn’t ask. It tells.That’s how I ended up walking with a patrol unit. They called it a “provisional recruitment”—which really meant, we don’t trust you yet. I could feel it in their eyes, in the way their hands stayed near their weapons. One wrong move and they’d bury me right here in the sand.So I kept my head down. Helpful, but not pushy. Curious, but not nosy. Just useful enough to keep around.If you want to survive, you learn to blend in.The patrol was t

  • The Betrayed Warrior Luna's Second Chance   Chapter 148

    ELIZA’S POVI stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the last piece of my disguise. I put on a paid of cargo pants and a black t shirt. A scarf was tied around my neck and lower face, concealing my identity from a distance and shielding me from the harsh wind.The forged crest of the Dune scouts—a rusted falcon’s wing—was pinned to my collar.It felt strange to look at myself and not see myself.I bent, tightening my bootstraps, trying to slow the pounding in my chest.I knew how to vanish, how to play a role, but this time the stakes were high. I had to find Isabella. One wrong move and we’re dead. In fact, we could be both dead.“You look like someone who doesn’t belong in any kingdom at all.” A voice said.I turned.Alexander. He folded his arms. I could see the worry in his expression.I straightened, lifting my scarf to my shoulders.“That’s the point.”He didn’t smile.Instead, he stepped closer and opened his palm. In it was a small silver compass.“It has light magic,” he sai

    ALEXANDER’S POVDays passed in a blur. I spent most of my time with maps and other documents on the desk of my war room.The maps laid open before me had become an extension of my mind.I had creases on my fingers from writing too much and my eyes were red because I could barely sleep. My voice was hoarse from barking out orders and directives.Yet we barely made any progress. Isabella was still gone.Still out there.Still out of reach.Edmund sat beside me. He was just as tired as I was. His normally neat uniform was wrinkled.Together, we kept looking. We looked at messages, merchant routes, and border crossings. Nothing felt concrete.But we didn’t stop.We couldn’t.It was Eliza who kept me from unraveling.Every time I was too tired and every time I wanted to run mad because of the frustration, she was there.She would place her hand on my cheek to calm me down or she would kiss me and every time she did that, my wolf would calm down.And so would I.She was the calmness I neede
